Maggie Q on set


What do you guys think? She plays a Chinese warrior princess sort. There was alot of controversy because she isn't Chinese at all (and is half white).

Yeah she is a warrior and yes she's hot! Any other comments people?

IMO, she has a strong comparison to Zhen Ji from the Dynasty Warriors series.

well she was in MI:3, anyways what's the story behind Cao Ying?

I have no problem with her being in it (I like her actually) but alot of the Chinese do have a problem with it (I read in newspaper). They said that not only is she not a Chinese, but she is half white, which doesn't make her character very believable (and something about it being a Chinese history based -though loosely based- movie so they got the cast wrong). So the problem is more to do with her being a Eurasian, rather than an Asian Asian (I'm guessing).

Her role is Cao Cao's daughter and she has a love affair with Andy Lau (so she's going to be a warrior and sexy).

This is bad...

Half-Vietnamese/Half-White =/= Chinese

If they really intend on casting a non-Chinese, at least stick to someone who's NOT half-white!
